GUEST BLOGGER: MUDI'S MEMOIRS - PART 4


MudiBlog6.jpgWritten and told by Helen Kavanaugh Tobbe (1905-2002) and transcribed by her youngest child, Kate Tobbe Ptak.

WP had one of the largest fish companies in Michigan at the time.  WP had a big fishery at AuGres. Jr. and I would often ride up to AuGres on one of the fish boats and stay at the fish house for a few days. Among other entertainments Jr. and I loved to watch the tour boat unload passengers up at Point Lookout, which was an elegant resort with beautiful homes on the northern tip of the bay. There was a pleasure boat that took people from Wenona Beach near Bay City to Point Lookout to visit friends in their "cottages" rather than tour shops, cafes, etc.
